I think it would be a good idea if the ballistics match up to the reticle. You might be better off getting a scope with a milldot. Maybe Leupold's new Mark 2 scope would fit the bill, but I haven't heard of anyone trying of these scopes yet.

i use a 3.5X15X50 Nightforce NSX on my 300 win mag. This plenty of power for an all round hunting rifle and I shoot this rifle out to 1K and have taken gamme as far as 777 Yards. I would not go with a "Varmint reticle" I would and did go with "Turrets". If you insist on a reticle with a hold over reticle a "Mill Dot" of a "MOA" would be prefered
